Battle of Le Charmel

The Battle of Le Charmel was a battle of World War I that occurred on 25 June 1918 when the armies of France, United States, the United Kingdom, and Belgium launched a massive offensive against the German Empire's forces in the Artois region of northern France. The battle saw the combined armies of the Allies assault German trenches across a no man's land at night, and the American forces were forced to retreat to their trenches after their attack on the German trench lost momentum. A German counterattack was also repelled, but the Germans had succeeded in thwarting the Allied attack. Thus, the situation in Artois remained a stalemate.
